I can "imagine" a case where several institutions in a finance-related industry are using a common schema for applications, but each institution uses Schematron to vet applications based on their
business rules. Ultimately, the (encrypted) Schematron schemas could be
uploaded to the client-side so that a single application can be vetted by agents onsite.
Now, for this kind of use, the more type-aware Schematron can be, the better.
